Features: This book records the clinical insights of the author over six decades of practicing Traditional Chinese Medicine. It includes both successful experiences and lessons from failures. There are cases where clinical treatment failed but were later inspired by reading; and instances where reading was not thorough but led to sudden enlightenment during clinical practice. For deeper insights, it draws from historical texts like the Rites of Zhou for clinical evidence, such as the use of Wuyandan to treat tumors. For more practical applications, it highlights the efficacy of folk remedies, such as the use of Bao'taisong to eliminate lice, which originates from. The original manuscript was a year-by-year record by the author, later compiled by his daughter. The sections focused on conversations are titled "Random Talks After Examinations," while those centered on cases are titled "Treatment for Specific Diseases." Additionally, several representative papers published by the author in national medical journals are included as "Random Talks After Examinations" to reflect his unique perspectives on certain issues in Traditional Chinese Medicine. At the end, there is an essay titled "Explanatory Notes on the Preface of Treatise on Cold Damage and Miscellaneous Diseases"—an unfinished work by the author, who intended to annotate the Treatise on Cold Damage but had to stop due to age-related cataracts.
